Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325 °F (165 °C) if toasting coconut in the oven. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and spread shredded coconut evenly. Toast for 3 minutes, stir, then continue to toast until golden brown about 3-4 minutes more.
For stovetop toasting, use a clean, dry skillet on medium-low heat. Spread coconut in an even layer and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
Let toasted coconut cool completely to prevent oil separation in the cookies.
Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine maple syrup, sugar, milk, cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt. Stir continuously until bubbles form at the bottom of the pan.
Remove from heat and stir in peanut butter. Adjust thickness with additional milk if needed.
Add toasted coconut and chopped peanuts to the mixture.
Scoop out cookies onto parchment paper using a 1 1/2 tbsp cookie scoop, working quickly to avoid oil separation.
Chill cookies for about 1 1/2 hours to firm them up. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

Make sure the coconut is toasted evenly to enhance the flavor.
For a healthier option, substitute sugar with coconut sugar.
Keep the cookies stored in the fridge for the best texture.
